If item is common like IR range finder, line follower, sonic ranger, e.g., then just listing the item is all you need. If the item is unique to your project or is hard to find in general, then give a part number, a link to the item, and perhaps a cost of the item. Images are great. It is fine to add additional slides here.
If this doesn’t work, use http://www.ezyzip.com/ 3D-Printed Parts Here are the zipped file(s) containing all 3D-printed parts created by me. The file(s) include the SketchUp (*.SKP) and stereolithography files (*.STL) used in their production: Futaba Servo Mount (by Hoang & Odom) Sonic and Sharp IR Range Finder If you used a 3D printed part, give an image (or images) of the piece. Also, embed a ZIP file of at least the SketchUp (SKP) and STL files of your piece(s). Here’s how on a Window’s machine: Select any files you want to add to the ZIP archive. Right-click on those files and select “Send to >> Compressed (zipped) folder”. Drag the zipped folder onto this PowerPoint slide. If this doesn’t work, use http://www.ezyzip.com/
